‘Without harming environment’: Aaditya Thackeray on metro shed stay at Aarey

Three hours into his new office, Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray on Friday halted the work of the Metro 3 car shed at the Aarey milk colony. The Shiv Sena, which was part of the Devendra Fadnavis government before the state elections, had criticised the cutting of trees at Aarey Milk Colony. Uddhav Thackeray and son Aaditya had also spoken out against the cutting of trees after a row three months ago when thousands of trees were felled for its construction at Mumbai’s Aarey Milk Colony. His party promised to declare Aarey as a forest if it comes to power. Aaditya Thackeray said there will be ‘development without harming the environment’.
